"Can we bring someone with an injured stomach back?" Guo Zhiyun was worried that the Winged Knights would be affected by the bumpy journey.
"It depends on the situation. As long as we can walk, we can use horses to carry the stretcher. As long as we can return alive, Li Dongzhu can be saved."
Fan Fan had a crazy amount of confidence in Li Yi.
If he contracted tetanus after infection and was in a critical state, Li Yi would also be numb.
Fortunately, as long as the wound was cleaned and he took antibiotics, the probability of contracting tetanus was very low.
Hiding was fine. Li Yi had ways to deal with it when he returned.
On the other side, Tubo's people were rushing back. Some of the injured stopped breathing after the bumpy journey.
Fewer people were directly shot to death. If the arrows didn't directly hit the organs, head, or throat, they wouldn't die immediately.
Those who were shot in the limbs and cut the body had deeper wounds. The follow-up treatment couldn't keep up, and more people died.
There were also spears and swords that pierced the body. The swords and spears on the battlefield couldn't be disinfected first.
Both sides of a siege would first soak their weapons in feces.
Most of the people who died died under such circumstances. After the battle, infection and mortality rate were the biggest reasons for the loss of people in the war.
In the afternoon, when they returned to the camp, the leader directly knelt there to accept his death.
"What happened?" Zasykuzé looked at his subordinates and knew that they had lost. They were all listless, injured, and dead.
"We lost. Their arrows were accurate, their range was longer than ours, their equestrian skills were not worse than ours, and they had good teamwork." The leader lowered his head.
"Guo Zhiyun can bring out a thousand people who can shoot farther than you? They used more people to fight you? "A general beside him didn't believe it.
"It wasn't the Hexi Provincial Governor's soldiers, it was … the Winged Knights. In the beginning … "
The leader recounted what happened. In the beginning, he didn't know who it was. When the two sides came into contact, the enemy had the advantage.
After that, the enemy slowly adjusted, and the distance between the two sides increased. His side could only passively take a beating.
The bow was different, and the arrow was also different. Looking at the shaft and tail of the arrow on his leg, it was clearly exquisitely made.
The feather was smooth and neat, and there was no sign of bending on the arrow shaft.
"Get up quickly and go treat your injuries," Zasykuzé was no longer angry when he heard that the Winged Knights were up against him. He didn't blame his own people.
Every time the people in the Tang dynasty sent a report, they would mention Li Yi and the Winged Knights.
It was said that apart from carrying out missions, the Winged Knights were also training. They ate a mixture of noodles and rice, and there were meat and vegetables all year round. When they finished eating, there were fruits as well.
The intensity of the training was different, and so was the crafting of the weapons. The Winged Knights were the private army of the Tang Emperors, and all of their weapons were exquisitely crafted.
There was no way they could win, unless they used more people to fill the gap.
"The Winged Knights aren't afraid of death." The general who spoke just now thought of something.
It was not worth it for the Winged Knights to come here. They should enjoy the best things and stay in Chang 'an all day.
The Winged Knights came out during the battle in Songzhou, and now they came out again.
This was the scariest thing. Some of the guards around Zan Pu looked very strong, but when it came to a real fight, they were not strong enough.
However, the Winged Knights of the Tang dynasty always dared to fight, and they would even accept a challenge.
In that case, the political power of the Tang dynasty would be more stable, and who would dare to rebel? The Winged Knights could rush up and kill them at any time.
"We need to strengthen the spies. The Winged Knights came over, but the spies didn't send any information." Zasykuzé looked very tired.
He didn't know what to do next. The Land of Nine Bends was basically taken back by the Tang dynasty.
Without the Land of Nine Bends, other places would be threatened, and the road would be easier.
He wrote another letter and ordered someone to send it back to Zan Pu.
…
"The intestines are a little scratched, but it's okay. Clean it and take a pill. Take two. Put a catheter in it and see if you have a fever."
After the old road was taken care of, the brother who did it smiled and explained the situation.
His intestines were not broken, or else it would be troublesome.
He couldn't eat or drink, and he needed to hold on. Only glucose and saline infusion bottles could keep him alive.
It was easy to get infected, and his body condition would worsen because there was no food.
Old Lu was about to faint from the pain. Because they didn't know if his intestines were broken or not, they didn't give him anesthesia.
When they took out the arrow, it was forced open, and when they washed it, it was also uncomfortable.
What did it feel like? It was the pain of diarrhea, and he couldn't use any strength.
Seeing that his intestines weren't leaking, they gave him some anesthesia and painkillers.
He was awake, but he still wanted diarrhea.
"When I go back, I'll ask Li Dongzhu to take a look. I don't trust you." Old Lu took two antibiotics and blushed.
Not long after, the things that Old Lu had digested appeared on the operating table. He quickly moved them away and cleaned them.
He changed to another tent and continued to disinfect.
"How's Old Lu?" Fan Fan came in to take a look.
"It's much better, but it's not strong." Old Lu looked like he had nothing to live for.
"We're all brothers. Let's wait for you to rest for a few days and then we'll go back." Fan Fan didn't care. Old Lu was being pretentious.
…
At the location of the Anxi Provincial Governor, a person was also eating.
He was the one whose intestines were stuffed back in. Everyone thought that he wouldn't be able to make it.
In the end, his condition improved day by day. Two days ago, he was eating porridge. Today, he felt good and started to eat meat.
A chicken stewed with ginseng roots. He ate happily. The others didn't eat and just watched him eat.
"Li Family Zhuangzi's method is really useful. He's alive now."
"If it was a year ago, he would have definitely died. He's lucky."
"The other brothers didn't die either. Alcohol is a good thing."
"There's also anesthesia and that anti-inflammatory medicine. In the future, we won't be afraid of getting injured in battle."
"We caught many Tubo captives. Should we exchange them back?"
"Let's see how many of our people are still in Tubo. If we don't have enough people, we won't exchange the rest."
"We'll raise them? Let them work? "
"We won't raise them. We'll send them to Chang 'an and give them to the Li Family Zhuangzi. The Li Family Zhuangzi needs them for work."
When everyone saw that the injured people could eat meat, they were happy and thought of the captives.
There were more than 50,000 captives. It wasn't easy to settle them down locally. If they weren't careful, the captives would cause trouble.
They knew that the Li Family Zhuangzi had spent money to buy the southwest barbarians. Now, they weren't doing it for money.
The soldiers hoped to give the captives to the Li Family Zhuangzi. Then, the Li Family Zhuangzi would give them more gunpowder, weapons, alcohol, and medicine.
Alcohol and medicine were too effective. Even if she lost a finger or got a big cut, she could still be saved.
In the past, if they amputated a limb, they had to burn it with a hot iron.
They burned it to stop the bleeding. After stopping the bleeding, they passed the first Gate of Hell.
Then, they passed the second Gate of Hell. After burning, pus would flow out. They had to paste it with medicine or use plant ashes.
Basically, they would have a fever. It seemed that none of them didn't have a fever.
They had to continue to endure the fever. Only then could they survive.
If they didn't use it now, they could sew it up. In many cases, there was no need to amputate. Why amputate when there was no infection?
Although some people had a cut and came back with a fever, they continued to clean it up and drink medicine to suppress the fever.
Life-saving things were more important than money. They would exchange the captives with the Li Family Zhuangzi.
